My first time tabling at @pdx_zines went great -- moved around 75% of what I printed, saw friends, and met a bunch of new people including folks collecting for libraries.

I don’t have many hard held beliefs left, but “when friends ask you for help moving, help them move” is one of them.

On the other hand -- he couldn't resist using the culture's fear of transness for dramatic irony in his fictional account, which is an unsurprising thing to read in a 2009 punk zine.

Thought I was headed to the U District for a conversation with 2006 me but instead stumbled into some kind of food street fair populated by children who were barely, if at all, alive in 2006. Scored a sweet ass book though.

Endless thanks to @submorstua.bsky.social and @lukejsuth.bsky.social for letting a middle aged lady work out her nineties and aughties shit in print. Copies of @lilacperil.bsky.social are still available to order but will sell out quick — grab one while you still can.
